the press was always intended to be the watch dog of american government. never the overfed lap dog of american governments which is exactly what it has become in trying to do everything possible to make the obama administration look good so the vice-president president instead of putting them arm's length gives them a great big hug and calls them his friends. nomit how it is supposed to wrork. >> threeings, clarence thomas and samuel alito and thee thee scalia were notice shows. scalia skipped it the fourth year in a row. i quote. it is turned into a childish spectacle. i don't want to be there to lend dignity to it that's why i like justice salia so much. few years ago, the supreme court justice came down to arkansas, we spent time out in the woods duck hunting. couple of things i learned about him. first of all he is a good shot and plain spoken in person as he is on the bench. i wish we had more people in politicings and in courts who say what they think and mean what they say and mean both of them. thank you, scalia for testimonying it like it is. nnex
